Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap had termed the allegations as baseless. In a series of tweets, the filmmaker wrote, "It took so long to silence me. It’s okay. In an attempt to silence me, you ended up lying so much that you have dragged other women despite being a woman yourself. Maintain some decorum, madam. I just want to say that whatever your accusations are, they are baseless." While speaking about the allegations, Payal Ghosh even dragged Richa Chadha, Huma Qureshi and Mahie Gill's names in the matter.
